How to turn any glasses frames into prescription sunglasses 

 

Have you ever struggled to find the perfect pair of prescription sunglasses? Then you will be glad to know that you can turn almost any pair of glasses frames into prescription sunglasses. 

 

What are the benefits of turning any frames into prescription sunglasses  

As the sun makes its grand return, the demand for fashionable prescription sunglasses is on the rise. If the search for a pair that marries style and utility has proved futile, one can explore the option of transforming clear glasses frames into sun-savvy shades. A vast assortment of frames, including designer editions, is available for selection, with the option of opting for a different or identical design to one’s current glasses. An array of shapes and sizes, ranging from old-school round spectacles to oversized, gold metallic frames, grants an opportunity to discover a look that resonates with one’s preferences, individuality, and fashion sense.

What sun lens treatments are available? 

 

Sun tint UV lens treatment  

In order to ensure adequate protection from the sun, it is important to have lenses with a UV filter. At our company, we offer a sun tint with UV capabilities that is designed to block both UVA and UVB radiation, rendering your lenses 100% UV resistant. Our UV filter is incorporated into the tinting process to guarantee full protection from the sun’s harmful rays. Furthermore, we always test the filter using a UV lens analyser to ensure its efficacy and safety. 

 

Polarising lenses 

If your daily routine involves driving or spending leisure time around water bodies such as fishing, it may be worth considering investing in polarising lenses. These lenses are specifically designed to reduce glare from horizontal surfaces like roads, water, and snow, while simultaneously improving your visual contrast. Additionally, polarising lenses offer complete protection from harmful UV rays and can be effortlessly attached to any frame of your choice. 

 

Reaction lenses  

For individuals who frequently transition between indoor and outdoor environments or those who prefer not to concern themselves with forgetting their sunglasses at home, Reactions lenses may be worth considering. These innovative lenses utilize advanced technology that reacts to light, transforming your standard prescription eyeglasses into a pair of versatile sunglasses. The lenses remain transparent while indoors, but when exposed to intense sunlight, they automatically darken to provide reliable protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays. Opting for Reactions lenses ensures that your eyes remain safeguarded in any situation.
